Ciro Santilli believes it likely that this is Apolline Verdiell's current usage pseudonym as shown on her LinkedIn profile: www.linkedin.com/in/appleverdiell/ and department pages: chen.uchicago.edu/apple-verdiell/.

Presumably the choice of "Apple" is because Appolline was too long for the Americans, and "Apple" sounds a bit like "Appolline". Maybe she's also a Steve Jobs fan who knows.

There is no direct evidence that this is actually her, but given the name similarity and that she has links to Atherton, California, it feels very likely.

Younger daughter of Marc Verdiell. The justification for this claim can be found at Section "Marc Verdiell's children".

In 2022 she started a Biomolecular Engineering BS at the University of Chicago. By 2024 she was already a research assistant at the Joyce Chen Lab which focuses on stem cell and tissue engineering research for cancer research, so somewhat in the same vein as her mother. She also lists poverty alleviation volunteering activities in her page. She must be cool, and secretly Marc's favorite daughter given that we went into STEM.

It is midly curious that she went to the same university as her elder sister Apolline. Was it because of her sister, or do they have other links to Chicago somehow?

Likely LinkedIn profile: www.linkedin.com/in/appleverdiell/ using her likely pseudonym "Apple Verdiell".

Elder daughter of Marc Verdiell. The justification for this claim can be found at Section "Marc Verdiell's children".

She studied arts and communication. Nooooo. She must be Marc's less liked daughter :-)

Ciro Santilli believes that this is the legal name of Marc Verdiell's wife, a Vietnamese lady who uses "Lori" as her casual Western pseudonym of East Asian person .

The name "Hoang Oanh Verdiell" is mentioned together with Jean-Marc Verdiell in numerous locations, e.g. unicourt.com/case/ca-sca1-verdiell-et-al-v-superior-court-for-the-county-of-san-mateo-153300 and she is beyong doubt a wife.

Previously, based on www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ2-kkhghD4 from Video "Profile of Marc Verdiell by Gizmodo (2018)" saying that she escaped from a communist country and abhors the Soviet flag, Ciro Santilli believed that Marc's wife might be East European, and that could Hoang Oanh be another wife, daughter-in-law or adpoted child.

However the identification of Marc's grown-up daughters as white-East asian mixed heavily moved Ciro's beliefe towards the theory that "Lori" is just a pseudonym for Hoang Oanh, his one and only wife, God bless.

Her possible maiden names include:It is unclear why both appear.

Many East Asians, notably Chinese immigrants, choose to adopt a Western name pseudonym to make it easier for Western people who don't speak the language to call them and remember their name.

Cowards! Ciro Santilli would much rather just torture foreigners into learning his language. But fair play.

More interestingly however, some of the names chosen are not typical names, and some end up being very cute or mildly funny. Perhaps it is partly linked to given names are getting weirder.
